The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1887-06-30
Republican County Ticket.
That the very name of boom" has

been made contemplate, and subject
Of ridicule, in Jackson, is due to the
indiscretion of little circle of young
men of this place. Or rather we
should say, three or four young men.
The ruling passion seems to be the
watching of Harvey Wells, and the
trying to initiate him and to injure the
people and prospects of Wellston-
yea, and of Jackson, too. These
young friends do not seem to have
discovered the difference between
public-spirited citizens and wreckers.
After a miserable attempt to break
down two or three business houses in
Jackson. in the hope of making few
dollars by the transaction, which re-
suited in an ignominious failure, and
only served to increase the business
attacked, they turned their attention
to Wellston, and sought to injure the
business of the County by fighting
Wellston Advantage was taken of
the Bank failure at Cincinnati, and
reports were circulated to the effect
that the Wellston National Bank had
failed in consequence. This contempt
ible story served to cause slight run
on the Bank, which was brought to a
happy termination by the Bank Off
cials meeting all paper as fast as it
came. This was one of the most con-
temptible and criminal pieces of work
ever perpetrated in the County, and
we say with shame that it originated
in Jackson. Still it is quite honorable
as compared with some of the attempts
to wreck business houses in Jackson.
The facts regarding the affairs of
Wellston and Harper & Co., are that
the failure of the Bank at Cincinnati
caused light shock to some of the
iron industries at Wellston, which in
no way affected the Bank at that
place, or the general business interests,
and upon investigation was found not
to affect even the iron business to the
injury Of the pro; poets of the town.
The fact Of any unpleasantness having
occurred is greatly deplored in Jack
son. The people of Wellston are en-
ergetic, Industrious, public spirited.
To think that such men as Ell. S.
Bundy, Fl. S. Willard, R. W. Goddard,
Johnny Vandivort, and scores of 9TH
ers we might name, should be caused
the least annoyance by the idle rumors
Of irresponsible loafers in Jackson, is
not pleasant to a Jackson man. The
two towns have great common inter-
ests, and there should be the most
cordial and generous business relations
between the business men Of the two
places. Any man with ordinary in
telligence-with even "a single grain
Of common sense-can readily see that
a warfare between the two towns
could only work to the injury of each,
while the building up of one means
the progress of the other lie Mr.
Wells shall succeed in securing for
Wellston population Of fifty thou
sand within two or three years, it will
be source Of qualification, and sub
ject Of rejoicing, in Jackson. We
trust that the business interests of
Wellston shall never again be annoyed
by the brainless nonsense of jackson
loafers. This may be called tolerably
plain language, but the case merits it,
and, were we to tell the people Of
Jackson of some of the attempts that
have been made to break down busi-
ness in this town, there would be a
sensation, perhaps.
